{Wedding} Josh + Leah: Dayton, Ohio Wedding & Portrait Photographer

I'm finally getting around to posting another wedding post from this year's weddings. It's so hard to find the time with the holidays fastly approaching.

Leah + Josh had the perfect day! Perfect weather(especially for August), perfect location for pictures *YIPPE*, perfect dress, perfect decor, and perfect couple. I had photographed Leah's older sister's wedding back in March so it was just like hanging out with friends all day. Just one small perk of being a photographer--you are constantly making new friends. Leah and her family are also Christians. It was beautiful to see the Godly testimony they gave, some during the speech, but mostly just by the way they loved and acted toward one another.

Leah has a very contagious personality. Every time I've been around her she is constantly smiling and laughing. I'm a big fan of smiling and laughing so as you can imagine we bonded :) Josh fits perfect with Leah. Kind of like peanut butter + jelly....yeah, like PB&J(pardon the analogues lol).

Enjoy this small preview of their beautiful August wedding.

{Part 1: Love+Learning+Together} My favorite Autumn

I'm going to start a new series of photos/blog post called "Love+Learning+Together". It will be all about Reed and I's journey together. May not be a huge post every time, but just a little post showing you a peek into our life.

So here goes Part 1:

Our 8 month anniversary was a little over a week ago. It seems like just yesterday that he proposed to me. It's been the best 8 months of my life, yet trying at times.
We learn more and more about each other every day...every single day. We have made our house a "home". We've made big decisions as one. We grow closer together daily. He's pushed me to try new things..like running a half marathon (which is tomorrow, EKkk!). So proud to be able to run it with him! He has encouraged me to pick up old things, like my violin, and rekindle my love for it. He's good for me. He has made me a better--stronger person. Life is sweet with my husband!

Well Autumn is my favorite season. I love the bonfires, hayrides, pumpkin spice candles,hoodies , Fall parties, the COLOR on the trees, the crunchy sound that the leaves make when I walk on them ;) but this Autumn has been unlike all the other Autumns of my life. This Autumn I'm a married women, and I must tell you it's been my favorite Autumn of all.
